Here you go…many more pictures to come but I need to feed horses, myself, take a shower, eat, and maybe take a nap first. But mom and baby are doing great and he’s a healthy, strapping big solid dark bay colt. He’s been up, nursed, and all the things he’s supposed to...

March 24 Nope…no foal…! But man, that is one big mare and she can make one HUGE mess! Have I mentioned how much I hate cleaning a stall bedded with straw? UGH! And she is drinking about 6 full 5‑gallon buckets of water every day and then peeing it all back out about...

Dexter Update from March 1, 2010

by | Mar 1, 2010 | Dexter

Dexter was adopted in late January but unfortunately, things are not working out with his adoptive home. His adopter lives on a property that is right by a busy highway. Their fencing is safe but not electric and for some reason Dexter has been repeatedly trying to...

Sinatra Update from Feb 21 2010

by | Feb 21, 2010 | Sinatra

Sinatra got his first dental float on Saturday in anticipation of him going into training next weekend. We were a little concerned because his teeth were doing some really weird things — for a while there it looked like he had two rows of teeth in front. I was worried...
